[Verse 1]
Closer than I thought we'd end up anyway
Never cared you left in fear, too hard to stay
Control all my wavelengths 'til I find a better guy
I don't know how you do it to me time after time

[Pre-Chorus]
I can read you clearly like a magazine
Pictures of your past are visible to me
Clearly, like a magazine
Pictures of your past are visible to me

[Chorus]
Tough Guy
He's Mr. Tough Guy
He makes the girls cry
Mr. Tough Guy

[Verse 2]
Text my phone, I don't reply, ignore your calls
If I was interested I'd make that clear, not anymore
You really think that I'm the one to fall for all those lies
Stupid just to think you were a waste of time

[Pre-Chorus]
I can read you clearly like a magazine
Pictures of your past are visible to me
Clearly, like a magazine
Pictures of your past are visible to me

[Chorus]
Tough Guy
He's Mr. Tough Guy
He makes the girls cry
Mr. Tough Guy

[Bridge]
Tryna wind me up like that
Hoping that I'll crawl right back
Kind of funny how you just assume
That my life still revolves 'round you
Tryna wind me up like that
Hoping that I'll crawl right back
Kind of funny how you just assume
That my life still revolves 'round you

[Chorus]
Tough Guy (Tough Guy)
He's Mr. Tough Guy ('Cause he's a tough guy)
He makes the girls cry (They cry, they cry)
Mr. Tough Guy (He's Mr. Tough Guy)

[Outro]
Tough Guy

Stella Rose Bennett (born 30 January 2000), known professionally as BENEE (formerly Bene), is a New Zealand singer-songwriter who debuted in December 2017 with “Tough Guy.” Music had always been part of her life, with a family history in theatre. BENEE’s first instrument was a saxophone, playing it for several years, along with the guitar.

BENEE started posting music to Soundcloud in her final year of high school (2017), catching the attention of producer Josh Fountain. The pair went on the work together in several of her singles, including break-out single “Soaked” which was featured on triple j’s hottest 100 (2018).

After spending two weeks in a communications course at the Auckland Institute of Technology, Benee realised she wanted to be making music full-time.
